I'm in the process of changing my current homeowner home loan to a BTL Leeds Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to my former Haywards Heath conveyancing solicitor who who did the conveyancing when I first purchased the house. The costs illustration provided of £470 has shocked me as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

I am soon to exchange buying a house in Haywards Heath but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the current proprietors in the sum of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement but Aldermore are not allowing this. Why were they informed?

Your solicitor that is on the Aldermore approved list is obliged to advise Aldermore of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your property lawyer to notify the price change to Aldermore then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Aldermore and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Haywards Heath.

I am buying a new build house in Haywards Heath with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.
